Sasktel Xplornet ?

And mustardman's pointis well taken. Grassroots was an impressive 300 bit per second "experiment" maybe some 20 years ago. And it required a very good telephone line.

I challenge anyone to run Netflix (USA) or Amazon video streaming; while use it for your long distance telephone service or any other bandwidth intensive service etc. etc..

Don't waste your time trying to watch tens of Gigabytes of usage pile up; because it will be physically impossible and prohibitively expensive even if you could ever accomplish any of your goals.

an Iphone with unlimited dataplan used as a hotspot

Are there any wireless plans that are "unlimited" and can be viewed with decent video quality on a tv set or larger display monitor?

Funny to come across this tonight. I have been wondering what to do with
the sasktel deal. Think there is something funny about this. They say
they have to return to frequency for other uses, but yourlink is using
the same frequencies. Maybe yourlink pulled a fast one on Sasktel with
their dealings in Ottawa.
Anyway I looked at satellites system when I when for Sasktel's wireless.
All comments I read in the US is the satellite internet is a last
resort system. Reading fair use policies for their system looks
like you have to watch your daily use. Watch anymore than hour of
netTV could put you on their bad list for the next 24hours.

Some friend use yourlink. The system has more down time than
Sasktel, but generally works. My problem is even with close tower,
trees are blocking the tower. The tree win over a good internet
system.
Present idea may be go with 3G hotspot and use my smart phone. I
am paying 25/month and hard use any data, as most has come via
sasktel and my farm wireless system. Also maybe a poor internet
would end up with more work getting done.

We had YourLink at one time. Will not go
there again. Was very unreliable.

Was a shareholder in bogend broadband and yourlink took broadband over leaving us shareholders pennyless. Enough said. Fxxx Yourlink.
